Quite the contrary. There are so many other things you can boot to (cd, USB jumpdrive, etc), that there is no reason to have a floppy drive anymore. I didn't put one in the PC I built for myself this past christmas, and I don't think I'll ever use one again. I honestly can't tell you the last time I even used a floppy drive. We've even converted our bootdisks at work to CD.

Oh jeezus you guys are arguing on the usage of floppy drives in our current age!? Well, I think the only reason to have a floppy is to be able to work more better with older machines, like my good ol' 333Mhz pwn (but kind of sucks because it doesn't have Bluetooth enabled on the motherboard lol...and it doesn't have a cdrom either..but bluetooth is more important).

But remember ober, when I install a kernel, lilo doesn't ask me if I want to burn a CD boot disk, it asks me to create a boot floppy disk. Though you could just say no and then burn a CD...oh whatever, I hate arguements lol.

yea i unpluged my floppy long time ago, it just take up space and
power havent used it in years.

Hehe, I had to go look in the control panel, because I didn't know the CPU speed of my primary laptop. Remarkable. It is an Acer Travelmate 4000 with a 1.5 GHz Pentium M. I bought it 6 months ago.
I need to get more memory, right now I'm at 512 MB -- it makes WoW lag in IF.

What does `IF` stand for?

-Intermediate frequency?
-Instrument flying?
-Is it a location in WoW?

Sang, no amount of RAM will prevent IF lag... just try to avoid the pit.

My dad was just screwing around my computer(Without me knowing) and he found the porn it(48Gb back in the day) and deleted it all. When i came home i realized my porn was gone but didn't know what to do, so i was waiting for my parents to come in the room yelling at me or something, but that never happened either. so i go to them (in the living room) see whats going on. So im seating there watching TV with them and waiting for something to happen, but nothing happened. It was very scarry day. so know i hide my folders.. my dad isn't smart enough to find them

Use linux same pr0n into a hidden account and you are done. Just dont give your dad root password. :)

Major small that is so awesome. Our computers resemble so well. I loved your desktop image! Be sure if you play a game, that it's not on KDE, because that baby slows things down. I use KDE too!! :] I use KHotKeys, and you should too!!! You can link like the WIN+P key to Pause/Play XMMS, and loads of other cool stuff! Just reply that you want to know more about KHotKeys, I'll share more knowledge on my next post, it makes KDE perfect for workplace speed.
